   Modelling the Evolution of Programming Languages

   Authors: Silvia Crafa
   <https://arxiv.org/search/?searchtype=author&query=Crafa%2C+S>

   Abstract: Programming languages are engineered languages that allow to
   instruct a machine and share algorithmic information; they have a great
   influence on the society since they underlie almost every information
   technology artefact, and they are at the core of the current explosion of
   software technology. The history of programming languages is marked by
   innovations, diversifications, lateral transfers and social influences;
   moreover, it represents an intermediate case study between the evolution of
   human languages and the evolution of technology. In this paper we study the
   application of the Darwinian explanation to the programming languages
   evolution by discussing to what extent the evolutionary
mechanismsdistinctive
   of biology can be applied to this area. We show that a number of
   evolutionary building blocks can be recognised in the realm of
computerlanguages,
   but we also identify critical issues. Far from being crystal clear, this
   fine-grained study shows to be a useful tool to assess recent results about
   programming languages phylogenies. Finally, we show that rich evolutionary
   patterns, such as co-evolution, macro-evolutionary trends, niche
   construction and exaptation, can be effectively applied to programming
   languages and provide for interesting explanatory tools. △ Less
